If you are a forex trader looking for a set of NZD New Zealand Dollar alerts, trading signals and trading indicators, these will improve your trade entries tremendously. These same indicators and trading signals work for 8 currencies and a total of 28 pairs, not just the NZD pairs.

The first indicator we want to show you for trading the New Zealand Dollar pairs is The Forex Heatmap®, which gives live NZD buy and sell signals for all 7 NZD pairs. Here is an example trading signal:

Forex Alerts NZD Strength, Trade The New Zealand Dollar

Forex Alerts NZD Strength, Trade The New Zealand Dollar

Forex Alerts NZD Strength, Trade The New Zealand Dollar

Forex Alerts NZD Strength, Trade The New Zealand Dollar

The live trading signals on the heatmap for the NZD indicate NZD strength during this trading session.  The NZD strength is across the board against all major currencies. Due to some slight CAD weakness, the NZD/CAD made a strong movement of about 125 pips, which is a strong move for this low volatility pair. The trend indicators on the bottom image can be set up with all of the NZD pairs grouped together like the heatmap for reading the NZD or any other currency much more accurately.

For more exact times to be notified as to when the NZD New Zealand Dollar is consistently strong or weak we have some professional forex alert systems like audible price alerts and push alerts to your cellphone to tell you when the market is moving. Now you have access to great live indicators, a trend and charting system and alert systems. As a forex trader you are now on the way to building a profitable forex trading system for the NZD pairs and 7 other currencies.

EUR/NZD Chart, Trend Analysis

Here is an analysis of the EUR/NZD chart using some simple trend indicators on the higer time frames. This is the W1 time frame chart. Visual analysis shows that the EUR/NZD is in a longer term downtrend that might last many more weeks. Current pricing is about 1.6110. Traders can set an audible price alert below this price. When the alert hits check The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap for a sell signal.

We see considerable pip potential below the alert price, down to as low as the 1.4300 area, which is 1800 pips of potential. This means that the risk to reward ratio would be 60 to 1 with an initial stop of 30 pips. This is a phenomenal risk to reward ratio for any forex trader to use. Most forex websites emphasize scalping with 1.5 to 1 or 2 to 1 money management ratio. This trend analysis was accomplished with multiple time frame analysis by individual currency, using using some simple forex trend indicators. The trend indicators you see are some 5/12 exponential moving averages. These moving averages are simple, but powerful when applied across individual currency groups.

GBP/AUD Sell Signal

This is an example of a strong sell signal on the GBP/AUD pair today. The indicators you see below is The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap, which provides live trading signals for 8 currencies and 28 pairs total. As you can see from the signals, the British Pound (GBP) was consistently weak and the Australian Dollar (AUD) was also consistently strong.

This is the strongest possible trading signal using this indicator. We refer to this as a “slingshot”. The best indicator you can use to trade the forex market with is the market itself. These strong signals pushed the GBP/AUD down 175 pips in one trading session. The AUD strength pushed the AUD/NZD up around 100 pips, so multiple trades were possible due to the market volatility.

This GBP/AUD  is now in a strong down trend and should continue much lower on the W1 time frame trend, we see no nearby support levels below the current pricing. We will continue to prepare more trading plans for additional sell entries moving forward, in the direction of the ongoing downtrend.

This created strong movements and several trading opportunities on trending pairs. The AUD/CHF moved higher in it’s current uptrend and this pair should continue higher on the D1 time frame trend. The EUR was mostly weak so the EUR/AUD sold off and should continue down to at least the 1.4650 support level, as this pair is in a strong downtrend.  Combined movement for all 7 AUD pairs was in the hundreds of pips.

The AUD strength signals you see below are from The Forex Heatmap®, which provides much more reliable signals than any forex trading signals we have seen that are available to traders. These signals work for all 7 of the AUD pairs and a total of 8 currencies, 28 pairs total.

GBP/CHF Trading Plan

Todays GBP/CHF trading plan is presented here. This pair is close to breaking support on the D1 time frame and possibly forming a W1 time frame downtrend also. Traders should set an audible price alert at 1.2630, noted by the yellow line, to notify them of the breakout. When the alert hits check the The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap to verify any sell entries. We would expect the GBP to weaken below the alert price.

This pair has substantial potential below the alert price with no nearby support levels. This trading plan for the GBP/CHF was prepared using multiple time frame analysis by individual currency. This is the analytical technique we use every day at Forexearlywarning. Traders can check our website for more information on how to prepare a forex trading plan.

News events should have color coding for better visibility.

Forex News Calendar Selecting

Forex News Calendar Selecting

Most forex news calendars have a set of controls for customizing the news calendar features. With most calendars, traders can add or remove currencies that they want to see scheduled news drivers for. We suggest setting up the news calendar for reporting scheduled news drivers for the 8 major, most liquid currencies: US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Swiss Franc, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar. These 8 currencies combine into 28 different pairs, and these are the pairs we track with the Forexearlywarning trading system.

Another calendar control or filter would be to set up the news calendar for the most volatile news drivers only. Look at the above news calendar. It has one volatile news driver on the schedule from the GBP that is upcoming. You can set up and customize the calendar to show only high impact news drivers, color coded in red. High impact news crivers can drive substantial price movement. You can also customize for red and orange color coded news drivers only. Orange news drivers are medium impact news drivers.

This way the calendar is more compact. Most forex news calendars also come with adjustable clocks. Users can set the calendar clocks to local time or the GMT time clock, whatever the end user prefers.

Make sure the news calendar you choose has a look ahead calendar for planning your trading week. Click on the “this week” to see the entire week of important news drivers on one screen. This helps with planning your trading schedule if you are on a tight schedule. You can also use the look ahead schedule to see when major bank holidays are. USA bank holidays are good days to take a day off from trading or take a long weekend. Every trader needs an occasional mental break.

The GBP also dropped against the USD, and this pair is down to session lows of 1.5120. You can see the strong selloff on the GBP/USD on the chart below.

Both sell trades on these two pairs look like short term/intraday sells, we expect the GBP/NZD to reverse back up based on the larger trends in the market. This pairs sold off but it is not trending down on the larger time frames. The GBP/USD also sold off, but this pair is still ranging up and down, so we would scale out lots or exit completely on any short term/intraday trades.
